According to the AP, Judge Michael Pastor said, "Dr. Murray created a set of circumstances and became involved in a cycle of horrible medicine. The practice of propofol for medicine madness, which violated his sworn obligation, for money, fame prestige and whatever else may have occurred."

Prosecutors are also asking that Murray pay restitution fees to Jackson's three children, Prince, Paris, and Blanket.

The Jackson family said in a statement, "The Bible reminds us that men cannot do justice, they can only seek justice. That is all we can ask as a family, and that is all we ask for here. We are not here to seek revenge. There is nothing you can do today that will bring Michael back."
